The Ultimate Classroom

This is the open source design page for creating an all-ages learning space based on the combined principles of Montessori,Waldorf,Orff,Reggio,Multi-Intelligence, Bloom’s Taxonomy, Study Tech, and Imagine Wisdom Education. We call this the Ultimate Classroom and it is designed to stimulate ideas for your own educational environment or for use as complete building blueprints and setup plans. These plans will evolve as needed for building a complete Highest Good Education school on the One Community property. The complete school model will start with one non-permanent structure and expand to multiple classrooms as needed. As we develop this first structure and others later, we will use this page to open source share all aspects of the design, development, licensing and permitting, expansion, setup, etc. through multi-media presentations for easy viewing, downloading, duplication, and modification.

KEY CONSULTANTS TO THE ULTIMATE CLASSROOM

ULTIMATE CLASSROOM DETAILS

The Ultimate Classroom is designed to use a Projection Dome for the primary structure. These domes are most commonly used for promotional events and festivals and allow for 360 degree projections on the the ceiling and walls of the dome, can be set up in a day by two people, and are considered temporary structures that may not need permitting in many locations. Here’s an image showing what is possible with these projection domes:

Our classroom design using these domes includes elevating the entire dome and adding a central loft. The central loft provides meeting space on top, play space below, and a mounting place for the projector so projections happen above the main classroom spaces around the perimeter of the structure. This means shadow-free projection and more classroom space.

SEVEN THEMED SECTIONS

The classroom design also includes different colored and themed sections representing all the colors of the rainbow (Idea source was I-WE). This is purposed to create a stimulating, captivating, beautiful, and effective learning environment for all ages, covering all traditional subject matter, and a broad diversity of additional subjects and topics too. We discuss each of these rooms here:

As much area as is possible and safe to allocate around the building is also part of “the classroom.” This will include a fountain with fish, other farm-type animals if appropriate, an organic garden with a small greenhouse, a big playground with a diversity of climbing and imagination-stimulating components, sandboxes, tunnels, and space to run and play (Idea source was I-WE)

FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS

Q: How do you intend to provide classroom construction blueprints?

Our current plan for our initial Ultimate Classroom is a 30’ diameter project dome, a dome size that will easily meet our initial class size of 10 children. A dome this size will provide 700 square feet of learning space with the ability to project any scene we want on the entire inside (360 degrees) of the dome. These domes can be constructed in less than a day by a team of several people. They are also classified as a “non-permanent structure” for permitting reasons, but we’ll make it a permanent and permitted structure as quickly as possible. When we purchase this dome and set it up, we will provide complete purchasing, construction, and cost analysis details. Permitted plans will also be provided as soon as we have a permitted structure.
